The FRIENDS Experience: The One in Vegas is located inside MGM Grand and gives visitors the chance to step inside recreations of some of the show’s most recognisable locations.
On my latest trip to Las Vegas, I decided to check it out for myself.
In this review, I’ll take you through what you can expect from The FRIENDS Experience Las Vegas, some of the highlights from my visit and, most importantly, whether I thought it was worth the money.
What Is The FRIENDS Experience in Las Vegas?
The FRIENDS Experience: The One in Vegas opened at MGM Grand in July 2025.
It’s an immersive walkthrough attraction based around the TV series, combining recreated sets, props, costumes, behind-the-scenes information and plenty of opportunities to recreate scenes and take photos.
The Las Vegas attraction also has some features inspired specifically by the episodes set in Vegas, including Ross and Rachel’s wedding chapel scene.
For FRIENDS fans, the idea is basically to go from watching the show on TV to physically stepping into some of its most famous locations.
Where Is The FRIENDS Experience Las Vegas?
You’ll find The Friends Experience Las Vegas inside MGM Grand at:
3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
It’s located within The District at MGM Grand, adjacent to the Grand Garden Arena. (Friends Experience Las Vegas)
That makes it a particularly easy attraction to add to a day exploring the Las Vegas Strip, especially if you’re already planning to visit MGM Grand.
What Can You See Inside?
This isn’t simply a collection of FRIENDS memorabilia behind glass. A large part of the attraction is built around recreated sets and interactive photo opportunities.
Some of the highlights include:
- Central Perk
- Monica and Rachel’s apartment
- Joey and Chandler’s apartment
- The famous orange couch
- The fountain from the opening credits
- Ross and Rachel’s Las Vegas wedding
- Replica props and costumes
- Behind-the-scenes displays about the show
My Experience Visiting
Honestly, I absolutely loved every minute of this experience.
As a massive FRIENDS fan, I’m probably like a lot of you — I’ve watched the show from start to finish more times than I could possibly count. So getting the chance to actually walk through recreations of the sets I’ve seen on TV for years was a bit of a dream come true.
There’s loads of information and little details to take in as you make your way around, but for me, the photo opportunities were the real highlight. Being able to get photos on some of those iconic sets is something I never thought I’d get the chance to do.
Those photos are probably what made the experience so special for me. They’re memories I’ll be able to keep forever, and I know I’ll always enjoy looking back at them.

Is It Just for Taking Photos?
Photo opportunities are obviously a massive part of the attraction, but there’s more to look through than just recreated sets.
There are replica costumes and props alongside behind-the-scenes material covering the making of FRIENDS. (Friends Experience Las Vegas)
How Long Does The FRIENDS Experience Take?
The attraction recommends allowing approximately 60 minutes to complete the experience. Once you exit, re-entry isn’t permitted. (Friends Experience Las Vegas)
Your actual visit may be shorter or longer depending on how much time you spend looking through the displays and taking photos.
We took about 45 minutes in total walking through.
Can You Take Photos and Videos?
Yes. Photography and video are encouraged throughout the experience, which is obviously a big bonus if you want plenty of memories from your visit.
However, larger photography equipment including tripods, light stands and reflectors isn’t permitted. There are also premium photo opportunities available inside. (Friends Experience Las Vegas)
I filmed my visit too, so if you’d rather see what The FRIENDS Experience actually looks like, you can watch my full video below.

How Much Does The FRIENDS Experience Cost?
$36-56 (at time of writing)
Ticket prices and available packages can change, so rather than relying on the price from my visit, I’d recommend checking the official website for the current ticket options before booking.
There are standard tickets as well as upgraded options which can include extras such as flexible entry and photo packages.
Opening Hours
Opening days and hours can vary, so I’d recommend checking the official ticket calendar before visiting rather than planning your trip around older opening times.
The attraction operates timed entry, and visitors are advised to arrive around 10 minutes before their booked slot. (Friends Experience)
Is The FRIENDS Experience Suitable for Children?
The attraction welcomes visitors of all ages.
Children aged 12 and under need to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, while children aged three and under can currently enter without a ticket when accompanied by a parent or guardian. (Friends Experience)
There’s a FRIENDS Shop Too
There’s also an on-site retail store selling FRIENDS merchandise, including items exclusive to the experience.
Importantly, you don’t necessarily need an attraction ticket just to visit the shop — the retail store is open to both ticket holders and members of the public during operating hours. (Friends Experience)
Is The FRIENDS Experience Las Vegas Worth It?
As I mentioned above, I had a great time in here walking through the sets and seeing all my favourite scenes play out in real life.
For a huge FRIENDS fan: ABSOLUTE MUST!
For a casual fan: it’s something to take up some time between the Las Vegas madness but you will prob still get some joy out of it.
For someone who doesn’t watch FRIENDS:
If you’ve never seen it then it’s probably a completely pointless to go along to.
Final Thoughts
The FRIENDS Experience is certainly one of the more unusual themed attractions you’ll find inside the Las Vegas Strip resorts.
Rather than being another Vegas ride or museum, it’s aimed squarely at people who grew up watching FRIENDS and want the chance to physically step inside locations they’ve seen hundreds of times on TV.
Its memories you’ll be able to take away with you and look back at everytime you rewatch FRIENDS in the future and be able to annoy all your own friends by telling them youve been in that scene.
